Republicans say Cain can survive scandal

Congressional Republicans on Tuesday said presidential hopeful Herman Cain can survive the sexual harassment accusations that have besieged his surging campaign, but that the business executive still must prove he has what it takes to be the Republican nominee.

“I think if the election were held tomorrow in South Carolina, he would win,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told The Washington Examiner. But, Graham added, “He’s got to convince people he’s ready to be president of the United States.”
